Coal Combustion Products and REACH (status 30.01.2018)

On 1st June 2007, the REACH-Regulation (Registration, Evaluation,
Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) entered into force. By this, also
each producer or importer of coal combustion products (CCPs) has to register the
marketed or imported substances at the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) situated
in Helsinki. Since 1 June 2008, CCPs which are not registered can not be
produced and placed on the market.

Due to special regulations for "phase-in" material like CCPs the
producers/importers of CCPs have pre-registered FGD- gypsum, spray dry
absorption product (SDA-product), fly ash ((FA) from hard coal/lignite), bottom
ash (BA), boiler slag (BS) and fluidised bed combustion ash (FBC-ash) as well as
cenospheres (CE) and ashes from biomass combustion (BMA) with the CAS- and
EC-numbers of the specific substances. For production volumes of more than 1000
tonnes per year the pre-registration had to be done by 1. December 2008, the
registration had to be completed by 1. December 2010.

The producers/importers of substances with the same EC-numbers formed
so-called pre-SIEFs (Substance Information Exchange Forum). Out of these
pre-registered parties a „facilitator“ organises the pre-SIEF communication and
cares for open questions within the pre-SIEF. For the basic and continuous
information regarding the registration of CCPs this website was created.

The pre-registered parties agreed about the sameness of substances, defined
Substance Identity Profiles (SIP) and formed Substance Information Exchange Fora
(SIEF) for the preparation of joint registration dossiers with chemical,
physical, toxicological and ecotoxicological data. For the registration of
one substance only one registration dossier
with the specific registration data can be filed. The SIEF members agreed for a
so-called „Lead Registrant“ who submitted the substance
specific joint registration dossier to the ECHA.

Consortia were formed for calcium sulfate, ashes (fly ash, bottom ash and
boiler slag), for FBC-ash and for SDA product.

* for ashes and SDA-Product new EC numbers were used for registration.

Legal entities being members of the joint registration referred to the joint
registration dossier by a token number provided by the lead registrant.

Pre-registered parties which will register at a later stage and are not
members of a consortium can contact the lead registrant or contact partners
listed below and ask for a letter of access (LoA) to the joint registration
dossier.

Parties not being pre-registered can also ask for a LoA. However, they have
to prepare an inquiry to ECHA to get a company specific number for registration
and contact details to the lead company which has registered the same
substance.

Information regarding sameness of substances for registration of CCPs and
details of consortia are given below.
